In honor of Earth Day, I've modified one of my favorite desktop wallpapers created with two photos of our planet from NASA's Visible Earth web site. Our planet is often referred to as "The Blue Marble" due to its resemblance to marbles. For this wallpaper, I've replaced the "blue marble" reference for some terms in honor of Earth Day.
Some of the common experiences astronauts and cosmonauts expressed have been the feeling of awe, humility and respect for the planet that is our home. While geopolitical turmoil, personal drama, natural disasters and more make us forget where we are, seeing it from the vantage point of space shows us how beautiful and fragile it really is.
The Earth is our only true home. We really cannot live anywhere else without help from mechanical, electronic or other artificial means. Despite all the space exploration stuff and sci-fi stories, there's no place else that humans and the other creatures and living things we share this planet with are meant to live. So it is imperative that we respect and protect our home.
What are you doing for Earth Day and every day?
You will find the Earth Day desktop wallpaper on the 2nd wallpapers page.
